About Me

I am the owner of Purely Gates Embroidery.  I do all of my own digitizing and love every moment of it.   I have been sewing my whole life and have been doing machine embroidery for twelve years.  I also quilt.  I have been teaching classes on machine embroidery for eight years and embroidery software for six years. I split my time digitizing and working at a local sewing machine/quilt shop where we are really big on machine embroidery. I own Baby Lock machines and wouldn’t own anything else!  I have a 6 needle embroidery machine as well as a home sewing/embroidery machine.
